So there are 2 rounds of interviews, both are purely technical. The last round will be conducted by professors. You should have an M.Tech degree and passion for research, plus a good GATE score. Round 1 is pretty easy, but Round 2 is harder.

Technical Behavioral
The professor from the biotechnology department really zeroed in on a minor mistake I made, even though the rest of my answer was solid. He fixated on that one slip-up, and the interview veered into chemistry, a topic I'm not really comfortable with. Despite telling him this, he kept asking questions that didn't seem connected to my prior studies or the specific department I was applying to.
